Beachfront 2BR Cottage with King Suite, Stunning Views & Pet-Friendly Option
π Some places just feel like home the moment you arrive β and Beach House on Captiva Island is one of them. This charming island-style cottage sits directly on the beach on Wiles Drive, giving you some of the most fabulous Gulf views and direct beachfront access you'll find anywhere on the island. ποΈ Wake up to the sound of waves, step onto the sand in seconds, and let the magic of Captiva wash over you.
π‘ Beach House is the perfect intimate retreat for couples or a small family of four. Two cozy bedrooms β one with a king bed and one with a queen β are thoughtfully appointed with that warm, laid-back island style that makes you feel instantly relaxed. Two full bathrooms mean no waiting, and the bright, open living spaces flow naturally to the beachfront grounds outside. βοΈ
πΎ Beach House is one of the few pet-friendly options on Captiva Island! With a $500 per pet, per week non-refundable deposit, you can bring your furry family members along for the adventure. Because every great beach vacation is better with a dog chasing the waves beside you. π
π³ The full kitchen is well-equipped with a Keurig, toaster, cookware, and everything you need to fuel a day of beach fun. Whether it's a quick breakfast before hitting the sand or a leisurely dinner as the sun sets over the Gulf, cooking in is always an option. π A gas grill invites outdoor cooking on warm Captiva evenings.
πΆ Central A/C keeps the cottage comfortable through even the hottest Florida afternoons. WiFi, linens, beach towels, and a washer/dryer are all included β and of course, beach chairs and umbrellas are provided so you can set up your perfect spot on the sand right outside your door. π΄ Wiles Drive is ideally positioned close to the charming Captiva Village, where you'll find beloved restaurants, boutique shops, galleries, and island activities just a short stroll away. Whether you're renting bikes to explore the island, joining a dolphin-watching cruise, or simply collecting shells along the waterline at low tide, Beach House puts you right in the center of it all. π¦
With a flexible 3-night minimum stay, Beach House is perfect for a long weekend getaway or an extended vacation. This is direct-on-the-beach living at its simplest and most magical β no resort fees, no crowds, just you, your loved ones, and the Gulf of Mexico.

The beach house
This house was beautifully decorated, impeccably maintained and the locations was idyllic. First time in Captiva and it was truly beautiful. The house had everything you could need and more, I will recommend it to all my friends. Albert, the property manager, was also very nice and accommodating.

What a PERFECT place to decompress!!! Adorable, well fitted out cottage. Plenty of room, great rear deck to watch the sunsets from. Sub Zero fridge, Viking induction range, Weber grill (with plenty of gas). Bring your Firestick or Apple TV box, they easily hook up. βCanβt say enough about this excellent property & location. Easy walk to town, your own private access just over the dune to miles of perfect beach line. Sanibel shopping is an easy 15 mins, Mainland about 25 mins. Pro tip: Grocery shop in Fort Myers before driving out & you can live like βRobinson Crusoeβ in perfect island idyll.

Just returned from staying the last week of April,2023. This cute little Beach House was perfect for us. Walk out directly onto the beach from both the living room and master bedroom. The house was super clean and everything was even better than the pictures on the website. If you want to spend a relaxing laid back week on the beach just "chilling out" then don't look any further than this. Its close to the village area on Captiva too.

We stayed in this gorgeous house for one week! Absolutely loved it. It is everything and more you could possibly want in a beach house. The views, sitting in the living room, the bedrooms and the lanai are breathtaking! The entire back yard is perfect. We could not have been happier with it. The house itself is perfect. The kitchen is completely updated with the best appliances and stocked with everything you need. Bathrooms are updated and beautiful. Giant televisions in living room and bedrooms. Honestly, the view of the beach is so wonderful here, it is Captiva Island at it's best. Can't wait to return in '24!!!
We loved our stay -- the house was nice and clean. It had what it needed. Being on the beach was fantastic -- very nice. From the back sliding patio door (heavy too open for frail people or tiny kids) it was a 100-150 yd walk down to the water. House came with umbrellas and beach chairs which was awesome. Literally the only issue we had was the oven did not shut fully -- the door was constantly a quarter inch or so open, and so the oven light wouldnt turn off, and therefor using it to cook was impossible. additionally the conduction cook top either burned everything in the pans, or cooked extremely slow. This is just a preference thing, but the conduction cook top caused every bit of food we made in the stainless steel pans stick like no other. It took immense scrubbing to get the food removed from the cookware. We cook because we were feeding 3 little hungry kids every morning. We used salty golf cart rental which was awesome!!
Make sure if you rent a golf cart and have kids they are in a car seat, or you will get pulled over. we did. the sheriff was thankfully nice, and did not ticket us. But they are serious about traffic rules unlike other islands we've been too such as Anna Maria etc....Captiva is a great place though. Coming back nicely after Ian.

We have stayed at several properties on Captiva but always come back to The Beach House. First stayed here when the Jensen brothers owned the cottage. The remodel is wonderful. Great location, and always spotless when we arrive. Highly recommend!
This place checked all of the boxes! Cottage charm, perfect location (walking distance to restaurants, activities and shops), private beach access, and updated decor/furnishings. We felt so much at home that we wish it was ours to keep/own!

The property was wonderful! The house was perfect - enough space and comfortable furniture and beds. The outside area was amazing!!! The only thing I would change would be to add more glasses - there were only two wine glasses - and include some cleaning products. We flew in and buying all the cleaning products - sponges, laundry detergent, items to clean the counters - is expensive for such a short stay. We would definitely stay again.
Breathing beach house on the beach w/ sunset views
Loved it!!!! Right on the beach, private beach access, stunning sunsets, great outdoor furniture!! Close to all restaurants- within walking distance but we rented a golf cart and bikes through YOLO! Wonderfully comfortable sitting furniture indoors- very updated!! Had a washer and dryer which was a huge plus!!!!would absolutely recommend this wonderful, peaceful, relaxing beach home!!!

Reviewer Comments:
The Beach House suited our needs and expectations very well -- as would be clear from our re-booking for the same week next year. The location is a definite high point -- facing the beach, off the main road (thus quiet) and a short walk to the "center" of Captiva.Its lay-out and simple furnishings were comfortable and functional. Herewith small-scale observations, not detracting from our overall up-beat views:A couple of modest amenities would be useful -- luggage racks for packing, and additional towel racks in both bathrooms. Also - understanding (and not disagreeing with) the "bare cupboards" approach, it would still be convenient to provide an adequate week's supply of basic household products -- garbage bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, paper towels and TP -- given the distance and traffic to markets for renters and the difference in economics when management can work in bulk.Last - a usual quibble with a vacation property is the low quality of kitchen knives, which matters to anyone doing any cooking. Surprise - the Beach House set was top quality -- but (!) they have degraded to terrible condition, actually a safety issue, and should be cleaned and sharpened by someone qualified to do so. Thanks and we'll see you in a year!

We've stayed at the Beach House several times over the years. The new owner has done a wonderful job upgrading this property. Of course the location is ideal. Inside and out, The Beach House is wonderful and we will definitely be coming back!
We had such a great time at this beach property. Steps to the ocean, the house was clean and well appointed. We spent a lot of time just hanging out on the back porch. Proximity to restaurants was great. We would definitely rent this home again.
